It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Okay, only my card looks like Christmas, but can you believe it's only 56 days away!!! YIKES! I went thru my pile of printed off images and found this sweet Holly Wreath Snowman. He holds a special place in my heart -- I used him on a card I submitted to Heather's design team call way back when...and the rest is history! I pulled out some designer paper scraps too and went to work creating. This was last night and let's just say I tried to create. Nothing was happening so I went to bed instead. This morning a new day dawned and I was able to get some cards made, this one included. Sleep and a fresh cup of coffee certainly helped as well!!!

Happy Saturday!

Good Morning and Happy Saturday everyone. 
I am sitting in my  little craft room area covered in a fleece blanket 
with only my fingers peeking out to type. My coffee cup has beautiful streams of steam 
flowing from it and is smelling delicious.
You guessed it,  it is COLD this morning! I think it is in the 30s this morning. 
All this being said, if it is cold where I am, it is probably cold where you are too!
Stay warm! Get some cocoa, coffee, tea  and a warm blanket and just
relax for a bit. While you do, check out these gorgeous cards our 
mega talented DT has created for you.

Breast Cancer Awareness

*excerpt from the National Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation*

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. 
While most people are aware of breast cancer,
 many forget to take the steps to have a plan to 
detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same.

Learn more about Breast Cancer and it's stages here
Support ,  Encourage, and spread Awareness to  others by making cards, 
joining challenges such as Link Up For Pink
And please consider creating cards and finding somewhere to donate them.
I read this post and was really touched by it.
I think we should support all types of cancer, so this post is a really 
great for all of us card makers. Such an easy way to make a big difference in someones life. 

And, as always, more importantly than anything else,  pray. 
Pray for those you know, the ones you hear mentioned of, the ones in hospitals now.
Pray for mothers and fathers sitting with their children as they are figthing.
Pray for daughters, mothers, grandmothers fighting the battle of breast cancer.
Never underestimate the power of prayer. 
When you are praying according to God's will, your prayer is unstoppable


Here are a few gorgeous cards Edwina created for BCA Month




This card is so soft and lovely.
The rickrack, sweet paper lace doily, beautiful folded ruffle, 
and the intricately cut out digital stamp will surely brighten someones day
and make them feel special at the same time.
 I love that pop of blue in the vase, don't you?




This next card is equally as beautiful. 
What a nice little card to send to someone who needs encouagement and 
an invite to have a cup of coffee with you. Whether that be a set time to sit
and drink across the miles over the phone, meet out, or send them a gift card
to encouage and bless them. No matter what you do, this card will
make them feel loved and will make them smile.

If you like the sentiments, they are free on the fresh brewed website.
Go HERE to see them and the other cancer awareness items in the shop. 


To find out more about these beautiful cards, stop by Edwina's blog,

Have a blessed day,
Heather

The Lord is my Shepherd

 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

Isn't it amazing how much God loves us. 
The Lord is MY shepherd....
What is a shepherd?
1. One who herds, guards, and tends sheep.
2. One who cares for and guides a group of people, as a minister or teacher.
Herds... Guards ... Tends. 
Our Lord loves us so much he watches over us.
He will not let us go hungry. 
He will not let us go thirsty. 
He will keep us in GREEN PASTURES and will lead us beside the 
STILL WATERS.  
A shepherd will make sure his sheep are being fed well.
He makes sure that the sheep are drinking clean, uncontaminated water.
He protects them. Keeps a close eye on them.
If a shepherd of a flock of animals is so careful and watchful and protective
of these animals, how much more so is our Heavenly Father over us.
This is a new digital stamp simply called 
SHEPHERD 

Rhonda at Bumblebee Creations created this card for Pastor Appreciation Day.
In the Bible, Jesus also speaks to others about being shepherds. 
Our pastors are here to lead us and guide us in the way the Lord would have us to go.
Please pray for your Pastor. Please pray that he is lead by God and that
the words he speaks and preaches are true. Pray and seek God's face in all things. 
Let Him be the ultimate Shepherd in your life, but know that he did send and call
pastors / teachers / missionaries/ ministers here on earth to do the job of a shepherd. 
Show them love, encouragement, support, and pray for them. 


John 21:15-17

....Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

 

Have a very blessed and happy day, 
Heather

Boo Who?

I started some work around the house this morning and next thing you know, it's 12 noon!!! EEEEK, gotta hurry up and get my card done for today!!! And here it is, just in time for the spookiest of holidays, Halloween. I used the fun Boo Who Owl image and lots of scrap papers. Just a little hint of purple helps bring another color into the orange and black palette. So fun to make! And it fits into the theme of our month long challenge too, PUMPKINS.
